NEW DELHI: Mahendra Singh Dhoni did not figure in the Indian team for the upcoming three-match T20 series against South Africa while a fit-again Hardik Pandya returned as the only change in the 15-member squad announced on Thursday.
The three T20 Internationals will be played in Dharamsala (September 15), Mohali (September 18) and Bengaluru (September 22).
Dhoni, who had taken a two-month sabbatical from the sport, is currently vacationing in the United States, having served the Territorial Army for 15 days. It couldn’t be ascertained whether the selectors spoke to Dhoni about his availability for the home series against South Africa.
Going strictly by the date of the squad selection for the tour of West Indies (July 21), Dhoni’s “self-imposed break” officially ends on September 21, a day before the final T20 International against the Proteas.
The current selection committee headed by MSK Prasad “wants to look ahead” and sources in the know of things said that the 38-year-old World Cup-winning former skipper is “not in their scheme of things”.
“This selection committee is clear on one front. They will never ask any questions to Dhoni with regards to retirement as that’s not their domain. But till they are in charge, they reserve the right to select the squad and as far as they are concerned, Rishabh Pant is now India’s first-choice keeper across formats,” a senior BCCI official told PTI.
